The newly invented fiber composite could stretch the lifetime of these structures from decades to centuries.

In an approach they call 'nanostitching,' engineers used carbon nanotubes to prevent cracking in multilayered composites. The advance could lead to next-generation airplanes and spacecraft. To save on ...

The material has been tested in accordance with EN 13501‑1, achieving a Euroclass B‑s2, d0 reaction‑to‑fire classification.

In Europe, companies in the construction and infrastructure sectors are increasingly in need of materials that meet strict ...

This schematic shows an engineered material with composite layers. Layers of carbon fibers (the long silver tubes) have microscopic forests of carbon nanotubes between them (the array of tiny brown ...
